Saw the Masterpiece Theatre one...did the Alan Breck in that one seem a little Panache-ish or am I just projecting?

I subsequently caught the Armand Assante as Alan version on ION TV one evening and thought that it was pretty damn good, too. My daughter found the VHS of that one at the dollar store for...well, a dollar...but it's been sitting here in the shrink wrap as we haven't had time to fit ti inbto the viewing schedule. The Assante verion also boasts the presences of Brendan Gleeson, Brian Blessed and Patrick Malahide.

Best
